I'm not sure of the differences between the 900 and the 900a but the 901 doesn't have wifi out of the box but the driver in rpmfusion works well.
Realtek 802.11n chip?
BTW, is a Ralink chip
Something like that. Its something like the rt2860 driver. I think it has crappy stuff like stuff in /etc
That's the one. Supposedly the driver is under a rewrite to be included in the upstream kernel, but I am not aware about the current status.
Its been in a rewrite state for ages with what seems like no real progress. I read somewhere the USB variant would be done first but that hasn't seemed to materialise yet.
More than half year ago it was supposed to be ready for kernel 2.6.29[1], but since then I took the "easy way" with the akmod from rpmfusion and didn't follow the development.
does the wireless survive a suspend/resume for you? i'm sure it worked once (with the 1.7.0 driver on F9) but since then i've always had to reboot to get the wireless back again - even rmmod/modprobe doesn't recover it.
